The Seven Sisters are a series of chalk sea cliffs on the English Channel coast, and are a stretch of the sea-eroded section of the South Downs range of hills, in the county of East Sussex in south-east England. The Seven Sisters cliffs run between the mouth of the River Cuckmere near Seaford , and the chalk headland of Beachy head , outside of East Bourne .The dips or swales that separate each of the seven crests from the next are the remnants of dry valleys in the chalk South Downs which are being gradually eroded by the sea.
From west to east, the sequence starts just east of Cuckmere Haven , The cliff peaks and the dips between them are individually named. Listed below, the peaks are in italics. There are seven hills.
* Haven Brow
* Short Brow
* Rough Brow
* Brass Point
* Flagstaff Point
* Baily's Hill
* Went Hill Brow
Just east of the last peak is Birling Gap . Beyond, on the top of the next hill, is Belle taut Light house and beyond that Beachy head . A lighthouse in the sea marks the latter headland.
The Seven Sisters cliffs are occasionally used in film making and television production as a stand-in for the more famous White Cliffs of Dover, since they are relatively free of anachronistic modern development and are also allowed to erode naturally. As a result, the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head remain a bright white colour, whereas the White Cliffs of Dover are protected due to the important port and are therefore increasingly covered in vegetation and are greening as a result. They are also featured at the beginning of the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.
The Seven Sisters are seen in the background of the Quidditch World Cup in the 2005 film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and also when Slartibartfast is showing Arthur Dent the "new" Earth in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, released the same year.
Much of the 2015 feature film Mr. Holmes was filmed around the Seven Sisters. The 2019 film Hope Gap, starring Bill Nighy and Annette Bening was against the backdrop of Seaford Head. The film is named after the distinctive area of chalk cliff between Seaford and Cuckmere Haven. In 2020, Jessica Swale's feature film debut Summerland premiered, shot around the Seaford area, featuring numerous views of the Seven Sisters.
